I'm 15 day post op and it does go down but I still think mine is not fully normal (some swelling or fluids still there) but close. At 5 days for sure not. Maybe at 8,9,10 days seem to be less distended. I had allot of gurgling/gas when I ate unil around 7 days. I was surprised it didn't last longer. Give it a few more days. Good luck

...when i was post op right up until about six weeks post op i had a distended stomach. its more to do with the fact that youve had surgery on the abdo than anything i think. i noticed this week that my stomach has flattened out heaps . i was operated on 22nd march.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
